Speak for yourself, man. Surely, it's why you're playing which is why this bothers you so much.
I think raiders miss the thriving casual scene that lurks in the zones they never see. They solo their raid-necessary classes from 1 to 60, with occasional guild groups or chardok proxies, and then theorize that the whole game is dying. Meanwhile, level 8 dark elf warriors find groups at orc 1 in ec with newbies who are happy to get rawhide drops.
It's plenty active, even if it's a clusterfuck at the top where you spend most of your time.

Lol dude, I'm on your side =)
My experience with hardcore "raiding" and experiences with those who influence the mess this server has become has left such a bitter taste in my mouth I barely even play. This server should have banned Chardok AOE years ago. I wish there were a more evenly distributed level range. I play just to play these days.
Everyone is just so pixel sick nobody really has a real conversation around here. Its all manipulating rules to benefit themselves to get more pixels. Nobody who isn't a guild leader wants to speak up because the pixel faucet gets turned right off real quickly.
I realize there are many nubs who are happy getting leather drops and let me tell you what I have spent countless hours on this server over the years helping random nubs. I frequent GFay to bank and I always help lowbies if I can who are waiting at the spires or who /ooc for a bit of help or need to go somewhere. I will even go above and beyond. I am always happy to answer tells from random nubs who have questions about the game and I'm not a dick. I am happy to help absolute nubs get into classic EQ. This brings me joy, much like spreadsheet jockeying, poopsocking, and locking people out of content and "winning" brings others joy.
When you are busy constantly doing Random Guild Specific Quest #1235342 for DKP you "have no time" to do anything else. Instead of enhancing the community and doing steps to envigorate it you are contributing to what created all this ridiculous Lawyerquest nonsense in the first place.
If anyone wants to complain about how absurd this server has become, its really not the staff's fault. Yes they could do way more earthquakes but I am well aware their hands are full.
All these complaints need to be directed to the guild leaders of this server who even let the server escalate to this point rather than "play nice." The server is in the hands of the players and the hegemony loves their metagame and forum and voicechat circlejerks.
The server staff is not to blame. The community is to blame. These nerds will keep talking in circles for years. They already have been. The hegemony will continue to keep that revolving door going to keep their guilds flush with warm bodies in order to fuel their pixel lust and Spreadsheetquest. Its an old story, really.
